And yes, university is very grinding; it helps to have skilled up before with the Multitab 6000 etc and to use the LTR Motive Mobile or a dragon to replenish needs while there, live comfortably, stay there for two weeks straight and have lots of parties!
I have an impossible want right now - but one of my own: In Monte Vista were I played Erika Lin, worked her up a to level 10 in her premade job, skilled her up in several areas and went about town to meet the neighbors. My plan was for her to be single, so I had not done any romantic interactions necessary to trigger any inclinations; but then she met Florence Taylor whom I thought fitted her very nicely, so they became friends, and I switched over to that household to do the same levelling with her premade job and adhering skills. My problem now is that they are not 'attracted' to eachother, and I have tried all I could think of: had various same gender romantic interactions controlling each household, and they have hearts with lots of other townies; gave them both LTR Attractive and Eyecandy; they are both at level 10 in rabbithole work as well as several different skills; both are rich beyond 75000; they both went to the spa for tan and manicure, had clean clothes and showers before meeting up, I even changed (temporarily) Florence traits to fully match Erika's, and Erika's sign to match Florence's (although I am not sure the latter is advisable in unmodded game). I have celebrity system turned off and did not change their life state, they have no other romantic interests. The only thing I can think of to do now, besides giving up the project, is making them richer than 150 000 simoleans, giving them the two extra matching traits through UL, and turning on the celebrity system making them both famous (this I am a little reluctant to do, it is not that fun). Impossible (and for Erika and Florence non-existent) wants!
